Asbestos is a naturally-occurring mineral that was widely used in residential and commercial properties until the 1980s. It was commonly used in insulation, roofing, flooring, and other building materials due to its insulating and fire-resistant properties. However, prolonged exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to fatal health conditions such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.

Due to the risks of asbestos, it is essential to identify the presence of the material in your property. Only certified asbestos surveyors can accurately identify the type and condition of asbestos within a building. This information is crucial to managing and removing asbestos safely.
